Speaking of Billick. He has his finger on the pulse.


top dawg

Well, actually I think you're being overly cynical. Billick made some good points in regards to the Panthers, the main one being that Kuechly may be the best cover LB in the NFL.  He also gives Thomas Davis much deserved respect, as Davis' story has really been under-reported.  Much like many of us, he is also somewhat skeptical of the O-line, and rightly says that Cam's elusive ability can cover a multitude of the O-line's sins.  

 

It's also worth noting that he effectively contrasted the record high in offensive scoring in the NFL so far this season, and the great defense that has been showcased by our Panthers. 

 

You can poo poo it, but I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts (at least until the next game). It has been a long time coming.

 

Here's hoping this team fixes their problem and stop using Cam's abilities to cover up the team's mutitude of sins.

Glad he likes us, but I don't like Billick much.

 

He's on board because he's had a steady diet of us.

 

I liked what Cowherd said today about us, He's definitely giving us some props which hes' been reluctant to ever do. Thats how you know we're entering that special territory. He said today that Kaepernick and some other guys can't make plays in the pocket and that scares him about some of the QB in the league, but he flat out said that "Cam Newton can make plays from the pocket". He's been so critical of cam in the past so it was nice to hear.

 

I honestly don't know how you folks don't whiplash trying to keep up with the ego-driven mindset of these wanna-bes in the sports media. It's no wonder when they leaves nerworks like ESPN/NFLN so many of them go off and have their own talk-shows where they act like they are gods.

Billick is a buffoon, who just so happens to say nice things about the Panthers. The guy can't even get the players' names right. He's too old and out of touch to be commentating football games, even. 

That's all true, but I really like the Donald Lafell thing.

I just like us getting some national attention. Just like how I like we are getting articles in the NY Times now, whereas they wouldn't waste page space on us the last few years. It's good for the team's popularity to be honest. We will have Panther fans in every damn state coming out of the woodwork... the seats will be filled with only guys wearing our black instead of opposing team colors.

 

It creates a culture over time.... it all feeds off itself.

Im so tired of Billick its not even funny. Glad to see he's not a complete idiot.

He's still a dickhead.  The only statement he has made is that, if a team beats both Frisco and the Massholes, then that team is a player among the NFL elite.

 

In the philosophy biz we call that a tautology (google it).

The new season of eastbound and down is prety good. Seems to hit on this subject nicely.

I understand where you're coming from. And I hope the Panthers continue to play well and win more and more games.

 

I am a Giants fans and my team pretty much get treated the same way. I don't even pay attention to those fools when rain down cheap praises on my team when they do well because when it's all said and done they don't care for teams like ours. The articles, writes-ups, and mentioning these team on the air are all good and fine but keep in mind that those folks have the teams they will always see as going to the SB and will root them on on matter what and teams like the Panthers will always have to prove they can hang with those so called "elite teams."

I see it's time for the "This guy says good things about the Panthers so clearly he knows what's up!" threads.

 

 

This place is ridiculous !  Why anyone bothers starting a new thread on this "message board" is beyond me.  And heaven for bid the OP have an original thought or one that most of the "message board" sheep deem inappropriate...

The only thing is that: what you assume is his assertion is not necessarily true, thereby it doesn't quite fit the definition of tautology.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
